Why won't it read 90% of the modules? I know my car has a DME (duh), so why won't this thing recognize that it's there? Does the key need to be in a specific position to read certain modules? (I did it with the engine running). It's a 5/02 build date 330ci which, IIRC, means I don't have the 20-pin round connector under the hood. How do I get this to read the rest of the modules? Do I need to solder the 2 pins on the scanner, as is shown here? http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...de-car-options

I can't see the pics because I am at work, but you have an 02 330CI same as me.
All I had to do it assign the drivers to read the software, which it looks like you have already done, it should work.

Only thing I can think of is what driver did you assign it, serial to USB?

Also, how do you do things like change the window functions (roll up/down with the key), change the security system to flash the red light, etc? I can't find any of the tick-box style screens I've seen posted by other's in screeenshots. Does anyone have a manual, or a link to a good post, where it explains the menu structure and available options?

Click on ZKE, Coding Data, and recoding, this will show what you can set.

Hi everyone. I was following this thread way back when it was about 7 or so pages long. I see it's grown into a monster. Being that I really don't have the time to go through and TRY to remember where I left off and try to catch up, I'm hoping someone can help me. I had installed the software on my laptop running Windows 7 (64). Everything was working fine but last night I got my SES light and ofcourse my laptop took took a **** on me. Turns out the processor is bad and so looking for a new laptop. I've seen a few laptops I like but they're only running Windows 8. Has anyone successfully installed and used this software on Windows 8? Any info would be greatly appreciated as I need to pick up a new laptop no later then tomorrow. Thanks.
